A man named Abdul B., a German national of Lebanese origin, was identified by investigators shortly after a violent attack. He had previously been flagged as an Islamist and potential supporter of the terrorist group Islamic State (ISIS). In 2025, he attempted to travel to Syria to join ISIS and had connections in Lebanon. He was arrested in Lebanon in 2023, convicted of inciting religious conflicts, and returned to Germany where he was detained again. After serving part of his sentence, he was released but remained under police supervision. His family, who identify as Shia Muslims and reject support for ISIS, reported that he had been acting strangely before the attack, including sleeping excessively and wearing distinctive religious symbols. His father recounted their last conversation, which was normal, and expressed concern over his son’s behavior. The attacker was later found by police in a garden belonging to his father, during a failed attempt to arrest him.
